How Much Cash?

[tltjet]

I was wondering how many one dollar bill should I bring with me for tips?

Not very many. You'll really only need to do tipping to anyone off the ship, onboard mostly if you get room service or if you make use of the porters when disembarking. Everything onboard, including drinks, can be charged to the room, including gratuity. That's about the best I can answer without knowing more of who you intend to tip. The main tipping for the waitstaff and your room steward will be explained in the documentation when you get it.

I usually take twenty, and that has always been enough for us (a family of three).

I thought the room service tipping had to be done with cash. Do they give you something to sign when they bring your food? Is that how you add a tip? Thanks!

You'll only receive a slip to sign with room service if you request something that has a charge (soda). Otherwise, there will be no slip to sign and you'd need the cash for the tip.

HTH,

Thanks Julie, that's what I thought I'd read before! I'll need a lot for tips because my daughters have already decided that room service sounds really cool and they plan on having it often!!
